Wikipedia material is GFDL. Wikimedia Foundation can and should employ whatever fundraising methods it thinks are optimal. Anybody who doesn't like the methods still gets to use the product on their own fork. Free as in speech.
What if those ads contain bias toward strict intellectual property rights to the exclusion of such efforts as those behind the GFDL?
They're ads. By definition they don't reflect the views and opinions of Wikimedia Foundation. This should be taken into account during negotiation, but if the content isn't affected I don't think it's any concern of mine, particularly since I always block all ads.
